Amy has been living abroad since remarrying in the United States, because she has a lot of time to spare compared to before retiring, so she has devoted a lot of energy to the study of music and film while taking care of her children. Then, because of her past experience as a figure skater, she became an artistic director at the figure skating club in the United States.

She had already had a great interest in music and dance, and after a period of absence due to her career, marriage gave her the time and opportunity to do so.

INTERVIEWER There are many viewers who choose to watch figure skating because they like to listen to music.

Daisy, a veteran referee from Canada, once said something like this. Music tells a story on its own. In fact, she said, music is very similar to words, and music can describe objectively existing words in addition to conveying emotions. For example, if a person wants to find the word "dark" in music, they may look for it in a small chord. This is known as "pictorial calligraphy".

Daisy believes that the role played by the figure skater is close to that of the actor in a musical show. Their job is to give meaning to an emotion through body movements. For the same piece of music, each contestant can interpret a different emotional dimension – one expressing desire, the other expressing suffering – and nothing could be more precious and appealing.

Amy agreed.

Under the introduction of her husband Lu Xiaokun, Amy has anonymously written soundtracks for several movies and TV series, although it did not cause any big splash, but she feels that it is enough.

Lu Bolin grew up in the United States, later went to the United Kingdom to study, and chose to return to China with his father after graduation. She also returned to Beijing with her husband and son.

The city has changed, the scenery has changed, and the changes over the years have made her feel a little abrupt.

Beijing is so big that it has become difficult for her to find traces of the past.

But in the past, it often came unexpectedly, she went to the theater to watch a musical alone, but when she got the ticket to enter, she saw Liu Bofei.

She had seen him on TV, as the head coach of the Chinese women's singles fierce general, the name Liu Bofei also has a lot of influence in the world.

Probably Liu Bofei noticed the strange and long-lasting gaze projected by others, so he turned his head, and they met at the door of the theater.

Amy smiled.

After a long absence, they are more peaceful than they imagined. They both entered the theater, and Liu Bofei could see the side face of Amy, who was sitting a few rows in front of him.

It's been so many years.

After the musical, Amy left the theater first and waited at the door of the theater for a while. After Liu Bofei also came out, she invited him to have a drink, and he agreed. So it was in a bar with the sound of the violin that they exchanged things that had happened to each other over the years, and then the conversation inevitably turned to the active figure skaters.

It was at this time that Liu Bofei didn't care about any so-called demeanor and etiquette, so he directly asked his ex-wife, who he hadn't seen for many years, to invite her to be an art director.

After Han Lu returned to China and before the start of the new season, Amy came to Liu Bofei to discuss the choreography of the players, and by the way, she watched Han Lu's trial skating on the ice again. Before that, she experienced a series of rediscoveries from learning to walk again, putting back on her skates, and regaining the feeling of skating. It's a process that breaks the crowd, but it's a way for athletes.

- She's the same as she was back then. Amy watched Han Lu's movements, keenly aware of something.

She couldn't overcome the psychological barrier to convince herself to ignore the fact that her Achilles tendon had ruptured. The wound was like a *, a constant reminder of what had happened to her and what might continue to happen.

However, Amy understands that Han Lu has missed the best time to announce her retirement, and if she announces her retirement in this situation, she can only end up with a reputation of falling to the altar. This is difficult for athletes whose self-esteem is higher than anything else to accept.

"Take a year off. Her eyes fell on the ice rink and did not look at Liu Bofei. "Tomorrow Chinese New Year's Eve years old, go back again?"

"Now it seems that this is the intention. ”

"What are the odds?"

"It's hard to say. Liu Bofei shook his head honestly.

However, there is another way for her. Amy said, "It's going from single to double, to double skating." ”

Liu Bofei did not speak.

"Did you think of it?"

"I thought about it. Liu Bofei said, "But I haven't mentioned it to her yet." ”

"Understood. Amy nodded, "A player of her level will indeed have obstacles to acceptance." ”

"What if it's you?"

"Me?" Amy thought for a moment and shook her head. "I don't know. Maybe I'll convince myself that this is not bad, maybe I'll retire, maybe I'll fight until I can't fight anymore, be carried off the field, and finally retire. ”

"You...... It's the same as not saying it. ”

"There's no way to assume that. "Different people, faced with different situations, will make different choices. Maybe, if I had loved you a little more and valued myself a little more, maybe I wouldn't have decided to change my style. She looked at Liu Bofei frankly. "But that's just a hypothesis, and an assumption doesn't exist. I can't stand in the future and guide me what I should do in the past. ”

Liu Bofei avoided her gaze.

"But," she continued, "I still feel like I didn't make the right decision for myself." I betrayed myself for something else that was more important to me at the time. I don't want to whitewash it with any sense of 'success' in the sense that followed. ”

“……”

"Last time," she said, "did you see the news when I was a guest commentator at the Nagoya tournament?"

Amy was referring to a nostalgic essay written by an editor of the site, about the retrospectives and memories of their time, the first generation of figure skating. They found many old photographs that had survived from the time, accompanied by sensational text, announcing the end of an era.

"The end of an era. Amy repeated, "But I think our time ...... Actually, it didn't start. It was their time that began, not ours. ”

An era written by the victors and dominated by the victors.

If you want to have a voice, you can only get stronger.

At this time, there were three groups of players practicing on the ice rink, and Jiang Xin and Chen Tingyuan were working hard to run in. Chen Tingyuan's comprehensive conditions are very good, but his strength is far inferior to Xu Haoyang. Although Jiang Xin is also petite, his weight is still a little heavier than his past partner Wang Liu, and he is now trying to adapt, but he doesn't seem to be able to keep up with Wang Ximing's requirements.

After all, time is too short.

However, children at this age do not yet know how to shift the responsibility to others, they will only continue to be themselves.

Amy watched from the sidelines as Jiang Xin landed unsteadily and fell in a toss, and Chen Tingyuan hurriedly went over to help her up and shook his head slightly.

"It's too hard to design. "The boy's skill doesn't support this kind of high, long throw." ”

"They're new to each other, and they're not used to each other yet. Liu Bofei explained.

"I remembered. Amy said, "This is the powerful combination in Wang Ximing's mouth?"

"Yes. ”

"Three years to win the championship. "He thought that everyone had his talent. ”

"That's right. But you have. Liu Bofei reluctantly admitted, "Han Lu also has it." ”

"So, did we build his confidence?" laughed Amy.

“…… I think, so to speak. ”

"Look at this time. Amy looked at Jiang Xin and Chen Tingyuan, "These two people are probably going to disappoint him." ”

Jiang Xin felt terrible, her feeling of "a new step has been taken, and the door to a new world is about to open" lasted for a short time, and was quickly replaced by the anxiety of training. She and Chen Tingyuan's toss and jumps can be said to have never been successful, and she even has to wonder how this child could win the World Youth Championship back then. Or is this guy the same as Xu Haoyang, an example of his debut being at the peak?

No kidding.

She gritted her teeth and stood up, ignoring her partner's concern, and skated to the other side of the ice rink alone, leaving Chen Tingyuan in embarrassment.

Chen Tingyuan has been skating for more than ten years. Originally, at the beginning, his family did not have high expectations for this matter, they thought that figure skating was just a rare hobby for their children to find in a closed environment, and it was the kind of low-level, short-term pleasure obtained in a simple sense of conquest, which he would give up sooner or later. However, for Dinh Die, figure skating is the only thing he really wants to do, and he is willing to put all his heart and soul into it.

He was not a very gifted child, and at a young age, despite the fact that he had already put in many times more effort than others, he often failed. Even, when he passed the exam, Liu Bofei didn't remember his name clearly.

For this reason, when he was 10 years old, when he was faced with the question of whether to go to Beijing for more professional training, he had a head-on conflict with his family for the first time. Liu Bofei, who has been leading the junior team, can be said to be accustomed to this kind of conflict. Some of the children succeeded, some lost to their families, and some parents stuck in the ice rink and pointed their noses and asked what future he could guarantee their children.

Some young coaches can't stand this anger, but Liu Bofei cultivated a Buddhist mentality early.

This is thanks to Han Shuhua.

Chen Tingyuan's family is a scholarly family, and the dispute is also reasonable, reasonable, and reasonable, a ten-year-old child, listening to a bunch of adults with serious expressions, when he is anxious and aggrieved, he is quiet and depressed when he is so anxious that he cries.

Generally speaking, Liu Bofei will not easily make any promises to parents, because he really can't guarantee that his children will achieve something in the future that is worth making them fight for the achievements of their entire teenage years - he has only said such big things to one person, that is, Han Shuhua. At that time, he was only in his twenties, and after retiring from the national team and running to work as a local sports school coach, he was not a successful person by any means, and he shouted at Han Shuhua, telling her that her daughter would definitely become the person who made figure skating history.

This battle was fought for months, and every day, his mind was filled with Han Shuhua's cynicism and Han Lu's firm refusal, which went out before going to bed and would start again the next morning.

After Han Shuhua finally compromised and proposed a quid pro quo of "I don't care about the minimum age limit of 10 years old, let her enter the junior team now", Han Lu finally officially became a member of the figure skating junior team.

Liu Bofei looked at the current Han Lu - her age had exceeded his age when they met, and he suddenly felt a sense of being out of the world.

However, Chen Tingyuan was different from Han Lu, Liu Bofei took his eyes off Han Lu and looked at the young man who couldn't talk to Jiang Xin, and silently retreated to an inconspicuous place to practice alone.

Han Lu is a person who can be free from any external factors once he has identified his goal, which is a very rare quality that athletes want to have, but it is not as simple as they hope.

And Chen Tingyuan, a child, can be regarded as a sensitive character among ordinary people. As long as one path deviates slightly, it is very likely that you will take a completely different path in life. Whether it's climbing upwards or falling down.

It's all possible.
